Connect the compressed air
NOTE: For the life and efficiency, the air supply system must contain more or less 30% of moisture and
must be clean and free of oil, if your air line does not correspond to these requirements, we recommend
that you install an air dryer.
Connect an air hose with a diameter of 1 inch or more to the pressure regulator (page 17). An isolating
valve should be installed at the source of air to depressurize the system for maintenance. If you use a rigid
conduit for your air duct, a flexible section must be installed to allow the opening of the door.
Caution: if you use interlocking connections, secure them with pins. a connection that disconnects
under pressure, could cause serious injury.
ATTENTION: any person operating this equipment must be aware of the dangers related to sandblasting.
prolonged exposure to dust may cause severe lung damage or death. If you ingest toxic materials such as
lead dust or dust from heavy metals or corrosives this may cause serious respiratory problems or death.
Identify materials to be removed by sanding and get a data sheet of the abrasive used. If lead or other toxic
material is removed by sanding, HEpA filter should be used.
Initial startup
Before to start, the dust collector hatch and the drawer of the recycler must be closed when the scrubber
is operating.
WARNING: do not operate the cleaning system on new cartridges before they are clogged. Emit a pulse
on unclogged cartridges could cause premature failure cartridges or reduce the efficiency of the dust
collector. This initial clogging layer dust will allow cartridges to filter efficiently. It is for this reason that
during the first hours of use, the filter elements of your dust collector will leave some dust escaping from
the air outlet.
start-up operation
Make sure the front access door is closed securely by using the pull handles and the recycler of the drawer
is locked with latches. Make sure that the sequencer is running.
NOTE: Do not start the cleaning system
before the cartridges are pre-clogged.
Shutdown
Let the dust vacuum particles suspended in the blast room fall down.
Turn off the engine of the dust collector.
Turn off lights extra.
Close the air supply.
Empty the dust by trapping in the dust collector or empty the dust collection barrel. (See page 14)
